MATLAB – Help Using Commands:
For explanation purpose, I will search trigonometric sine function using MATLAB help commands, describe below one by one and see the results. The trigonometric sine function defined as sin function in MATLAB.
If you want information about any command in MATLAB various help commands available are:
help command
The help command shows information about the command/function in the command window. The help command shows exact information about the search function/command name. The general form of the command is:
help command/function_name

Let us search for sin function using lookfor command. After executing lookfor command for sin function on the command window, result display below–
In the above figure, results continuously displayed, so to stop execution press ctrl + C,
doc command
The doc command shows help manual about search command/function name. The general form of the command is:
doc command/function_name
MATLAB VIEW – to show doc command execution
Let us search for sin function using doc command. After executing doc command for sin function on the command window the result display below–
